The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
With hard work, commitment / and proper guidance, / Sivaram has become / a IPS officer.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. a IPS officer.
We use "A" before words that start with a consonant sound and "An" before words that start with a vowel sound.
The article "a" is incorrect before "IPS officer."
"IPS" starts with a vowel sound, so it requires the article "an" instead of "a."
Corrected sentence: With hard work, commitment and proper guidance, Sivaram has become an IPS officer.
